Physicalist

Physicalist - the <!g>metaphysical position that the universe is explicable in terms of the components of matter and energy that it contains. It is a more comprehensive term than <!g>materialism because it includes energy as well as matter. Both terms are usually contrasted with <!g>idealism, <!g>theism, or some form of <!g>dualism.
